The Don

Unreal…he pulls a sword on police gets shot with a taser and dies..so the city pays the family! If they shot him with a gun instead would it have made a difference ? If the man escalated it from the start why did the city settle. ..sounds justifiable to me that police did their job correct to some extent.

Absolutely agree with you Don…where else would someone threaten police with a deadly weapon and get rewarded for it (at least his family). He was shot with non-lethal weapons and happened to die. Too bad and tough luck…why should we pay for his stupidity. They could have used their pistols and would have been justified. Hampton has no problem giving our tax money away.
